INF: /G Switch Eliminates "Snow" on Some CGA Monitors

MS-DOS

Summary:

Microsoft CodeView for DOS versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, and 3.14 support

the /G switch, which suppresses distracting interference that can

occur whenever CodeView updates the screen on some CGA monitors.

More Information:

This distracting interference, sometimes called snow, is caused by

directly accessing video memory on CGA monitors. This is a hardware

limitation and not a problem with CodeView.

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in

future releases.
